Sometimes the clothes are simply more important than the people wearing them. Most fashion brands know this but wouldn't exactly shout it for fear of harming sales but Sela, in a way, doesn't see that as a problem.
In a playful video which features a man and a woman doing a rooftop flirting dance while dressing themselves ultimately find themselves at an impasse. And because, well, the clothes are far more important than the people wearing them, these clothes take matters into their own hands. The clothes get what the clothes want.
Here's a cool collection of what appears to be a Dior campaign or, perhaps, the making of one. No confirmation but who cares? The images are quite good and we're in a sharing mood today. And what's not to love about cool fashion photography?

No, this is not a real Nike ad. It's all part of a promotion for an international magazine. Our tipster tells us, "We prefer to keep the publication anonymous for now but this will be going to print in the very near future and we expect it to provoke some discussion and probably some threats of legal action."
Um, yea.
Just Douche It? That ain't goin' over well with Nike Oregonians.
Outdoor company JCDecauz held a competition to determine the "most innovative and engaging concept." The winner? A Pedigree board created by WhyBin\TBWA\Tequila which allows passersby to select from four choices; Play Ball, Throw a Pedigree Dentabone, Lick Screen or Feed Dog and then watch the doggy in the widow act out the choice.

Wow, there's nothing like being called a fox and then having the label removed because you change jobs. But, that's exactly what happened to former fox (and FOX executive) Mickie Rosen who's decided to leave FOX for Velocity Interactive where she'll oversee the company's West Coast operations.
But hey, she's still kind of a fox even if she's no longer with FOX.

Seizing upon a double-entendre so vapid and that we honestly thought we'd never see it happen, Sydney-based Brandshop paired Kotex to beavers.
Watch as an Australian woman totes her furry friend around, getting its hair done and nails painted. For their painstaking efforts, both Big and Little B are awarded with good-natured nods of approval from hot guys at the beach.
The spot ends in a restaurant, where Honey passes her beaver a giftwrapped container of Kotex U. "You've only got one ... so, for the ultimate care down there, make it U," a voiceover spouts inanely.
GoDaddy must be livid. Props to Adrants reader Theresa for passing this along.
